No

I'm saying no
I'm saying no to the guys asking 
The girls for their time 
But the time they will take from them 
Anyway because the girls 
Never get the chance to say no
Or maybe because the guys won't 
Listen because to them no really 
Means yes 
And yes is just another sexual term
That will ruin those girls lives 
Because no never left their mouths 
I'm saying no 
No to the guy that told her he 
Loved her
And that this is what happens 
When people are in love 
His hands touching her body 
Like her body doesn't 
Belong to her 
As he spreads her legs
She closes her eyes 
And wishes she 
Just had said no
I'm saying no
No to the 40 year old guy
Who said it won't hurt 
7 years old not understanding 
How to say no
His fingers go in 
Then slides out for something 
Bigger to enter 
You screaming 
But a scream somehow 
Never equals a no
I'm saying no 
No to the guy that told you
Everyone's doing it
As the drugs slowly 
Take over your 
Speech your body 
Begins to become 
Weak the only thing
You can make out is
Four guys pushing you 
Off your feet 
Screaming no in your mind
But you forget guys 
Aren't mind readers
And the only thing 
You can do is wait for time 
To go by so you can 
Go home and wash off any
Dirt they left behind 
I'm saying no
here's your no
Here's a no for all the girls 
Whose mouths didn't get a 
Chance to form the word
A no for the girls who 
Didn't understand no was even
An option 
A no for the girls who said it 
But for the guys who closed 
Their hears to it 
Because apparently 
No matter how much 
You scream or fight or 
Pull away 
It will never amount 
To this word
No 
Because in their eyes
You asked for it 
You wanted it and
You were dressed for it
So here's a no 
Now maybe we can get some 
Justice
